“[they’re] learning to respect the bush rather than just run through and trample everything” Aboriginal and Islander Education Officer
We play a lot of games in our Nature Connection series. Some are to run off energy, but many are to help students get into the mindset of wildlife around them. When children put themselves in the shoes of a bird or animal they get a glimpse of what life might be like, how hard it can be and what their impact is. With this knowledge on board, we see students slowing down, being mindful, and watching their impact on the planet whether through the rubbish they choose not to drop or the plant they choose not to break.
This video captures the essence of our Nature Connection Series, an 8-week, immersive program delivered by Educated by Nature with the aim of supporting teachers to see the potential of local bushland and nearby outdoor spaces, engaging students Deep Nature Connection. This project was made possible through a partnership between Educated by Nature and WA Parks Foundation, supported by Australian Gas Infrastructure Group.
